The weather played havoc with sport across Wales at the weekend - but the Welsh Premier League match between Carmarthen Town and Aberystwyth Town was particularly badly hit.

As the game at Llanelli's Stebonheath ground headed towards half-time with the scoreline goalless, the breezy and wet conditions suddenly turned into a full-blown storm - causing all sorts of problems for Aberystwyth keeper Mike Lewis.

The hapless goalie tried repeatedly to place the ball to take the kick - only for the strengthening winds to blow it back towards him each time.

After being told to hurry up by referee Richard Harrington, Lewis eventually took the kick - only to see the ball balloon up into the air and land just yards in front of him, forcing him to clear the ball out for a corner under pressure from Carmarthen forward Keyon Reffell.

As Aberystwyth manager Ian Hughes complained on the sidelines, referee Harrington bowed to pressure and took the players off for some well-earned refuge.

The game - which ended in bright sunshine - eventually saw Aberystwyth win 3-0.
